The project to electrify the leachate pumps at Sutton Wick closed landfill was completed successfully by Phoenix Engineering in November 2021.
Phoenix was awarded the contract by CEMEX with work starting on site in August 2021; the project involved running new cables and communication ducts to each of the existing leachate wells to allow for new pumps to be installed.
A new leachate storage tank, leachate pipework and electrical distribution kiosk were also installed. Site safety was upgraded by changing the site to a “TT” earthing system and new supply cabling throughout.
